Airlines Launches Frequent Flyer Program, Rewards Credit Card

Low-fare carrier Spirit Airlines introduced a new frequent flyer

program called Free Spirit yesterday, along with an associated

rewards credit card, the Free Spirit MasterCard.

The

Free Spirit MasterCard, issued by Barclays Group's Juniper Bank,

offers one mile for every dollar in purchases. New cardholders

also receive 5,000 bonus miles upon card acceptance.

Spirit

Airlines is touting what it calls a unique feature among frequent

flyer credit cards -- all points earned, whether via credit

card purchases or actual ticket purchases, count toward elite

status levels as well as leading to free tickets.

The

Free Spirit MasterCard is available online here.
